There are less than 1.000 Franco-Yukonnais, but they have a flag. This is
also a complex design with a blue field and three diagonal stripes set from
lower hoist to upper fly. The colours of the stripes are white and golden
yellow. The effect created by the arrangement of the stripes is meant to
represent Yukon's many mountains. Blue is for the French people and the sky.
White is for winter and snow. Yellow represents the gold rush and the
Franco-Yukonnais contributions to history of the territory.

The Franco-Yukon flag is of blue, white and gold: the blue
represents the
francophonie as well as the Yukon sky; the white symbolizes winter north of
60, and the gold recalls Yukon history and the early French-speaking
presence in the territory. The graphics refers to Yukon's crystalline
sky, grandiose landscapes and vibrant life. It is also reminiscent of
obstacles to surmount and mountains to climb. "This is a rich, original
flag that instills pride in our roots and our involvement. It does not
rely on quaint symbols to identify the people it represents - it
speaks of conquests made through greater respect for cultural identity," says Cécile
Girard, who created the flag.
